Subject: M7VKB with Athlon 1200
-------------------------------------------
I just tried to install an Athlon 1200 on an old M7VKB motherboard I still own and use for testing, but it only recognizes it as a 900 one. Everything works, but at 900 Mhz.
I installed the last BIOS upgrade I found (1031f) but this doesn't solve the problem either.
Has anyone an advice?
Thanks!

As no one has answered to my question, I'll reformulate it in another way.
I found out in the meantime that to get 133 fsb I should short pin 1-2 and 5-6 of JCLK1.
This jumper set doesn't exist on my board, there is only the place where the jumpers should be, with a strap shorting the contacts corresponding to pin 1-2.
As 133fsb= pin 1-2 and 5-6, would it help if I soldered a strap to short the place where pin 5-6 should be?
Would I get 133 fsb this way, or does this mb miss some chips to operate this function?
Hope someone let me know. Thanks!

It wonīt be probably clear expected answer, but...just today Iīve learnt on Net something about VKB...Iīve got it like a trash with burned Duron...be carefull about version of your VKB - on the left end of PCI/ISA shared connector is text: "ver:1.0" (or 1.1, 2.0 etc.) I have (of course(;-))) ver:1.0 and have the same problem. Despite the amount of released versions (which is not visible on name "M7VB") I didnīt find the properties or differences between versions - maybe that 2.X versions have all pins...Sorry of my english
